Retirement of Michał Kalina from moderation
« on: December 29, 2013, 01:43:38 AM »
Michał has decided to move on to greener pastures and retire from moderating on OC.Net. We (the Admins and Mods) would like to publicly thank him for his dedicated service to this community.  May he and we enjoy a blessed and fruitful 2014!

Question a friend, perhaps he did not do it; but if he did anything so that he may do it no more.
A hasty quarrel kindles fire,
and urgent strife sheds blood.
If you blow on a spark, it will glow;
if you spit on it, it will be put out;
                           and both come out of your mouth

Quite surprising, but I'm able to imagine how it's difficult if you have other duties, and from time to time just want to not be responsible, because of a kind of fatigue.

Anyway, all the best in the new year :)

Michal, thanks for the countless hours you invested in keeping this Forum running smoothly!

Wishing you nothing but the best in your "retirement". 

May God always bless you, keep you safe and happy, and reveal some great new aspect in your life to fill all the free time. You will do amazing things!

Thanks again!
